why send subs, when i can call in air strikes, nigga?

now do you wanna ride or die? La la-la-la la la la la

Jabari had some of the best footwork and one of the broadest one-on-one skill-sets i've seen for a college player. If he stays healthy and things fall right he could make a few All-Star teams one day. But this kind of bullshit-and-you-know-it post is why you have no credibility

When niggas was uppin old threads and openly doing the oak tree when Bari struggled them first two games, why you ain’t step in and try to be reasonable then?

We know why.

Just go at T, Ba.

Bari a fine player.

He wasn't never Melo's level of scoring champ.

you know who had two gold medals that practically no one talks about? jordan, because he actually did shit in the NBA where the competition is high and level. winning gold for team USA means almost nothing and winning gold multiple times just means you were willing to show up.

Not the case when Carmelo won his - post Larry Brown/Iverson/Marbury embarrassment.

I don’t think you thought this one through.

College, season 1, season 2, season 3, season 4 - he’s never been close to as good as Melo was at the same stages.

Jabari scores 16 and it’s post worthy. Melo scores 14 and he “fucking sucks”. Lol.

Y’all really thought I was gonna let that stand? I’m going to kick Melo’s ass out the door every step of the way JUST because niggas partied after Bari worked his way back from major injury twice:

And you probably hopped on when he was in college or a rookie, when all of that was a possibility.

You dummy.

Jabari Parker is one of the nicest and smartest young
people in the game. A great ambassador for basketball.

He *happens* to not be at good at basketball as Carmelo
Anthony, at any stage. And probably not in any way.

That's not a problem! Want to know why?

Carmelo Anthony is one of the better (top 25) all around
scorers the game has ever seen, was a transcendent NCAA
Player (his success changed the one and done model; you
CAN win a chip with it), is an all time great FIBA player
and is probably the best Latino to ever pick up a
basketball.

And he's almost certainly a 1st ballot to Springfield.

Jabari Parker's peak was always Milsap. Milsap is an
All-star and FINE NBA player.

You've put on your dancing shoes to point out he's not as good as Melo.

And those comps were valid in HS, in college, and through his rookie season.

He was a few spots lower as a recruit, didn’t have as great of a college season, and wasn’t having as good of a rookie season when he got hurt.

>He was a few spots lower as a recruit, didn’t have as great

Jabari was Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior. Got injured and slipped a bit in the rankings. Finished as #3 overall.

Melo was #2 overall.


Jabari put up 19/9 while shooting 47% & 37% from 3. Melo put up 22/10 while shooting 45% and 34% from 3.

Jabari played like 20 something games as a rookie.

We're splitting hairs.

Twice as many assists for Melo too. National champs vs. losing to Mercer matters too.

>Jabari played like 20 something games as a rookie.
>
>We're splitting hairs.

Jabari was averaging 12 and 5.

Team success does matter. But we were always referring to skill sets.

And by twice as many assists you're talking about 1 more assist. Lol

Not to mention, winner.

Melo had 33 and 14 against Texas in the final 4, and 20, 10, and 7 against Kansas in the title game. Jabari went 4-14 against Mercer. Jabari was very good, but they just weren’t the same level of player.

or in High School.

And you know this, that’s why you’re drawing the convo back to the Final Four.

Nothing to really talk about.

numbers even sway in favor of Jabari per-40, and Melo was not the Gatorade Player of the year in any year let alone his Junior season.

***shrugs***

That's why it's called splitting hairs.

And Melo had at least one of Top 5 Freshman season of the last 20 years.

But again, I'm talking skill sets.

he was doing pretty good when he was at 20/6 last year tho one he was getting into rhythm after missing all that time.

melo lil horseshit 25ppg on 455 ain't NOTHING...bari can go to the magic or bulls next year and pad for that shit.

Melo put up 21 and 6 on a playoff team as a rookie.

Was Bari going to go from 12 and 5 in December to 21 and 6 for the season by April? No. No he wasn’t.

He’s never been as good as Melo. Lol at bringing up the comparison after a 16 point game off the bench. Weird thread.

Jabari padding for 25 in Orlando wouldn’t match Melo’s 26 ppg on .492 on a playoff team either at age 23. Sorry.

that melo was gonna go scoreless in multiple 4th quarters when his team needed the only thing he's good for.

but it happened.

donovan mitchell went from 8ppg one month and 18ppg the next. Brandon Ingram went from 8ppg entering break to 13ppg after.

and that's just the ones i know offhand. rookies improve.

now when bari puts togeher a few healthy season, all you gonna be doing is moving goalposts. jabari a more efficient scorer than melo will ever be...because melo DONE.

bari best is yet to come. and you mad.

>
>that melo was gonna go scoreless in multiple 4th quarters when

Averaged 29 for the series. Should’ve averaged 40 I guess. The story of that series was Hibbert outplaying Chandler and the Knicks “shooters” missing all series.

>Brandon Ingram went from 8ppg entering break to 13ppg after.

Cool. To average 21 and 6, you’ve gotta do it all season. Like Melo did. Or if you do 12 and 5 for two months, you gotta do....what, like 28 and 7 the rest of the season to get those averages up? Not gonna happen.

>now when bari puts togeher a few healthy season, all you gonna
>be doing is moving goalposts.

I hope he does put together a few healthy seasons. Why wouldn’t I? I like the kid.

jabari a more efficient scorer
>than melo will ever be...because melo DONE.

Lol.
>bari best is yet to come. and you mad.

Cool, hope so.

Melo will move into the top 20 all time in scoring next year. Future first ballot hall of famer. His spot is secure.

If Jabari can stay healthy and have a better career than a Jamal Mashburn, he’d be doing well. There’s just no evidence to suggest he’ll have a better career than Carmelo. Weird thread.

Took 10 teams to the playoffs as the franchise player.

If Jabari can stay healthy enough to top Jamal Mashburn, Danny Manning, Josh Smith....that level of player? That’s a solid career, and it’s probably doable. Good luck.

You said that he would never win one.

They were *not* valid. Carmelo wasn't just elite.
He been prodigious scorer. Carmelo was way, way
better in college. Way.

And way, way, way better as a rookie. Carmelo led the

That Cavs team with Kyrie was the toughest we will ever face in our current run.


I'll take ANY of these current east teams in the finals over that Cavs squad

ie this healthy celtics team vs this healthy celtics team with a year of seasoning and healthy Ky and Hayward

And they were led by the best player in the world. That team would've beaten you in 2015, too had they been whole (or even had Kyrie been healthy).

You'll never face a team as good as that one led by the 2nd best player to ever live.

You may want to check the math on that. 3 out of 6 with TWO fully healthy All Stars seems a little off quantitatively from 100% with one.

You think Wade was healthy in 2013 & 2014? lulz. Bosh was banged up as well.

Kyrie and Love were *both* out for the Finals in 2015.

you on that breitbart.com spin.


-->

>You think Wade was healthy in 2013 & 2014? lulz. Bosh was
>banged up as well.

they both played in every playoff game in 2011 and 2014, and both averaged 34mpg or above. if Wade can be judged on what he did when he and Bosh missed a combined 60+ games in 2015, Bron can most certainly be judged for losing with both of them playing heavy minutes in *every* game.

>Kyrie and Love were *both* out for the Finals in 2015.

yet they both played max games in *2017* and both averaged 32 mpg.

so thats 3 losses, each with a pair of All Stars carrying a normal workload. matched with 3 wins, thats precisely 3 out of 6. I didnt even count 2015, and dude STILL aint over 50%.

That aint unbeatable...thats a fuckin coinflip.

I said "essentially" unbeatable.

He ain't been beaten with those conditions since that Finals
loss to the Mavs.

Give him healthy teammates who aren't awful, and he
wins chips. Beats 73 win teams even, down 3-1.

No reason to be sad

>they both played in every playoff game in 2011 and 2014, and
>both averaged 34mpg or above.

Wade shot in the low 40's and averaged 14/15 ppg in the 2014 finals. He was hurt - and he was trash. Bron dragged him to the finish line the year prior to the 'chip. Had Bron performed like that y'all would've been frothing at the mouth in criticism. Instead - you simply say "they were fully healthy" - which is simply inaccurate.

The fact is: When Bron has had a fully healthy team with 2 legitimate all-stars - he runs through teams (who don't have 4 future hall-of-famers on them). You give LeBron 3 hall of famers? Yes - he's unbeatable.

The only time Bron could be beaten in his prime were with all-time teams w/ 4 hall-of-famers (Spurs/Warriors). And his record in the Finals w/ championship caliber teams is on par w/ all the other greats: Bird, Kareem, Magic etc...

Sorry that upsets you.


-->

its a binary thing. either youre sitting out because youre injured, or you can play.

i dont make excuses for Chauncey Billups in 2003, Grant Hill in 2000, or Isiah in 88, so I'll brook none here either.

They played, they lost, life goes on.

Funny - I've only heard you defend and herald his performances. Obviously you're purely objective, though.

-->

but he missed a quarter of the season in 2015 and you try to pretend he didnt. MISSED GAMES.

then he came back healthy and won a division and a playoff series

meanwhile Bosh didnt make it past January in *either* season and hasnt played since

i dont *laud* him, or make outlandishly grandiose claims about him. i just tell the truth.

Had Bron not been born in Akron - they'd still be in the lottery and would never have the #RingOfAllRings in their safe.

You should be thanking LeBron. Kyrie is in the best situation possible for his career moving into the next chapter. The Cavs were trash with Kyrie before Bron came to save the day - and they'd still be trash he didn't return to lead Cleveland to salvation.

But your angst is unwarranted. Kyrie is a made-man and a champion - and you know damn well that he wouldn't be if he and Bron didn't team up. But that relationship goes both ways and it's why I've always been (and still am) high on Kyrie. I wanted Bron to leave Miami for Cleveland precisely because I thought Kyrie was way better than Wade (even when this board lambasted me for it - turns out I was correct). I hated to see Kyrie leave but it is what it is. Bron wouldn't have Ky w/ him right now anyway - so let's move on.

And Cavs won the division without Kyrie and basically equaled their win totals from last year. Would that have happened had Bron left and Kyrie stayed? Ky's a beast - but the idea that you need to taint the most historic NBA title in the league's history because Ky wanted out of an inept franchise is counter-productive.
